Growing up in a broken home without a father, Gabriel Castillo was a stranger to both God and true happiness. In his search for fulfillment, he succumbed to societal influences and developed enslaving sexual addictions. It wasn’t until a transformative experience in college that Gabe encountered the profound love of Jesus Christ. Through God’s grace and a deep devotion to the mysteries of the rosary, he began to reclaim his life, discovering happiness and purpose along the way. As a youth minister and popular Youtube host, Gabe is now focused on guiding young people toward a richer understanding of God’s love.
